What is really going on in the U.S.?

 Basically, the easiest way to say this is that ever since Columbus came to the new world, Europeans (white Europeans) have been in control. However, now white supremacy is at stake for the first time in the 400 years White Europeans have been in the U.S.

So, some white people who have always expected white people to be in power always are panicking because they are now being outnumbered by other minorities in the U.S.

So, the only way they can maintain "WHITE AUTHORITY" is to take away the vote from black and brown and Asian minorities (from their point of view).

It's about power and how it is wielded nationwide.

White people generally speaking have kept all other minorities down for 400 years. They have prevented Black people a lot from becoming properly educated and from owning businesses and from owning property mostly through the banks not allowing money to be loaned to them.

So, suppression of minorities has been institutional in nature.

How will all this end?

I'm not sure at this point but some white people are willing to do literally anything to keep power only in the hands of other White people.

You can call this being paranoid or whatever you want to call it but this is the way some people always have felt and still do. And it is too deeply engrained in them for them to change in one lifetime.

So, maybe we need to see this as an extreme paranoia but one that has always existed in some people.

In the 1950s white paranoia about other nationalities and racial groups was extreme and it was in almost all white people who were born in the 1800s that I knew then too.

So, in some ways it shouldn't surprise anyone that it is still here in the form that Trump creates.

I think it isn't useful to see all people as either all good or all bad in all this. Because people are almost always shades of grey. What I mean by this is that most people mean well but have their paranoias and if those paranoias are not properly dealt with people are going to die.

But, this is true also of all races not just white people. All races are paranoid in different ways.

So, how this is all going to work out will depend upon the communications between the races now and into the future.

Unless people can set aside their racial paranoias and communicate with other races then violence likely will be the only result nationwide and worldwide in the near and far future.
